About the Community

The Fellowship Community is a network of churches and leaders called together to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ by growing in Christ’s likeness, living by God’s word, and joining in God’s mission in the world.

Human beings need an authentic community where we truly belong: where we can celebrate and where we can cry; where we can be challenged to be our very best and where we can be forgiven when we have been our very worst.

We need a community where we can be welcomed and accepted, no matter who we are, where we’ve been, or what we’ve done, where we can grow in our relationship with God and our relationship with one another.

We need a community where humility is genuine, radical life change is expected, spiritual growth and transformation is celebrated, and prayer and worship are central.

We need to be part of a community that is not about us except to help us be our best as we love, serve, and influence the world around us.

The Body of Christ, the Church, is intended to be this community. But, for many of us, the contemporary “church” that we experience is tired, stressed, embattled, and afraid; a place of confusion, conflict, and fragmentation; a poor imitation of the broken world around it.

Our website is intended to answer initial questions and explain in some detail what makes our community an “order” within and beyond the PC(USA). Or contact us directly.

Welcome! to The Fellowship Community.

Our History

The Fellowship Community is the next chapter in a rich history of mission and ministry among Presbyterians. In 1989, the Covenant Fellowship of Presbyterians and Presbyterians United for Biblical Concerns merged to form Presbyterians for Renewal (PFR)—a broad based advocacy and ministry organization.

In 2011, a movement began that would come to be known as the Fellowship of Presbyterians—reclaiming a covenanted biblical community within the PC(USA) where unity is derived from a clearly articulated theology, where the common mission is making disciples of Jesus Christ, and where a new generations of leaders could be nurtured to speak the gospel into a rapidly-changing world.

In 2014, these two organizations blended the best of their ministries together to form The Fellowship Community.
